| Server Blades | Benefits |
Up to 10 hot-plug Dual Socket Server Blades per chassis:
each with 1 - 2 64-Bit Dual- or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® or AMD Opteron™ processors
Up to 5 hot-plug Quad Socket Server Blades per chassis:
each with 4 Dual- or Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ MP 64-Bit processors | All Server Blades may be mixed in one chassis, protecting investments and offering high growth rates.
The flexibility of mix and match of different Blade versions enable the Blade Ecosystem to fulfill mainly all tasks in the data center.
|
| Scaling option to build a Quad Socket server out of 2 Dual- or Quad-Core Dual Socket Blades, based on AMD Opteron™ 82xx / 83xx MP processors, using AMD’s “Direct Connect” technology with standard chipsets. | Dual- and Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors and on site scalability from Dual to Quad Socket Blades (up to 16 cores) for all performance needs. |
Redundant I/O Connection Blades for FC and GbE connectivity:
With the GbE Switch Blade 30/12 the six or four resp. onboard LAN channels per BX620 S4 or BX630 S2 resp. Server Blades are supported.
Support of 4 Gbit/s FibreChannel in case of 4Gbit FC switch and Pass-Thru Blades.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Blade and 10 GbE LAN I/O module.
Integrated Cisco Ethernet Switch Blade CBS3040 for customers primarily using Cisco components.
Gigabit Ethernet Intelligent Blade Panels as well as 4 Gbit/s FibreChannel Access Gateway as hardware foundation for I/O virtualization in LAN and SAN environments with ServerView Virtual-I/O Manager.
| Ensured trouble-free operation and minimum server downtimes.
Highly flexible network integration and reliable management.
More lanes to fulfill I/O traffic requirements of today and tomorrow.
Doubled throughput vs. models with 2 Gbit/s; optimized scalability, manageability and interoperability by Access Gateway mode.
Realization of „high-speed“ Local Area Networks, future sustainable due to support of virtualization features of upcoming versions of virtualization software.
Easy integration in market relevant network infrastructure environments.
Elimination of interoperability issues between internal switch Blades and external switches form diverse vendors (e. g. CISCO, Nortel, Brocade) due to protocol independency of these Connection Blades.
Cost reduction by decreased number of connection cables compared to pass-thru Blades.
Separation of server and network administration domains.
|
| The “Digital KVM Switch” offers enhanced comfort and extended usability compared to the former “Advanced KVM Switch”. | A set of powerful server management tools decreases administration and maintenance efforts.
The single point of administration reduces external equipment costs.
|
Between 4 and 6 onboard Gigabit Ethernet channels per Dual Socket Server Blade, optionally extendable by a 2-channel GbE daughter card and a PCI riser card option (Intel Server Blades) in addition
Optional 2 (Dual Socket Server Blade) or 2x 2 (Quad Socket Server Blade) FibreChannel ports.
| High I/O throughput within the smallest Server Blade already, tailor-made for the enhanced performance of the Blade Server at all.
Efficient and stable communication paths enhance reliability. Less space and power consumption compared to conventional rack server farms reduce operational costs.
|
Tried-and-tested, easy-to-use server management software (local or remote operation).
| Carefree and convenient operation.
Solutions for automated operating system deployment and load balancing adapt the server configurations to the current load profile, giving optimized response times.
Many solution templates for Blades are available e.g. terminal services, virtualization, SAP, SAN-Boot …
|
1 to 2 hot-plug hard disks per Dual Socket Server Blade in RAID configuration.
| Integrated data security easily achievable. |
